In Reply to: RE: Tweaks reconstructed+ some news posted by steppe on July 07, 2011 at 03:38:23
I more or less managed to reconstruct what I did.
and I've managed to reproduce your results . . . while stone-cold sober, even.
I deleted all the Audio codecs except for the Windows PCM converter which XP wouldn't allow me to remove. However, I could disable it so I did.
I repeated this for Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Devices and Media Control Devices. I also "removed" the Video codecs but they reappeared on re-boot so I deleted the .dll files instead. (Whether these matter in the slightest, I have no idea but removing them did no harm.)
I've now listened to the change using familiar material over two lengthy sessions and during casual listening and am firmly convinced that the change is well worth making. (I don't find the treble excessive using what I'd term mid-range kit though I'm not saying you're wrong either.)
Many thanks!

Hi Ryelands,The deleted dll-file most likely will re-appear through the actions of the windows file protection system. When a vital OS file is deleted, the Windows file protection systems normally will detect this and will try too re-install a copy from the dllcache-directory. See :\windows\system32\dllcache
So don’t forget too delete these file from the dllcache too. But probably than the windows file protection system will ask you for the CD with the original Windows XP installation files.

NB
This Windows file protection system can nicely be misused when applying the minlogon.
Rename the minlogon.exe too winlogon.exe.
Replace the original winlogon.exe in the dllcache with the renamed ‘fake winlogon.exe’-file into the dllcache.
Delete the winlogon.exe (that XP actually uses) in the :\windows\system32 directory.
The windows file protection system will detect this and will now look in the dllcache for a backup copy.
The windows file protection system will now install the ‘fake winlogon.exe’ for you from the dllcache.
Just as you want this too happen.
:-)
(don't forget too apply the needed registry edit. The windows file protection system will not do this)

Hi, WFP can be completely disabled. Read carefull about minlogon tweak. There is a try-out progran that does it
.serge
see the minlog section

Hi Dawnrazor,Thankx for the link on how too disable the WFP feature manually.
But I think using ‘step 2’ in the minlogon implementation is much work.
Why going through the all that trouble of disabling the WFP feature if one can let it do the job for you.
Simply copy the ‘fake winlogon.exe’ in too the dllcache directory, etc.Mark

Well I THINK that windows is smarter than that. If you dont disable WFP then windows will just overwrite the fake file.
Though it is easy to tell. If you load differently after making the switch and you continue to load differently and faster then perhaps you are right. Though if it is so why would someone as savvy as Cics do extra steps, and why wouldnt someone have brought it up before. Like segers who found the simple method, etc.
Anyhow if Dawnrazor can do it, everyone should be able to cope.

Hi Dawnrazor,
It’s indeed very easy too tell, in various ways, if the switch to minlogon was successful or not. There is really no need for such patronizing post.
I would have liked you first studied how the WFP feature actually works. Especially from what directory the WFP retrieves the backup copies.

Hi Mark,
Sorry. I was shocked at your reply. I never intended to be patronizing. Didnt think I was being patronizing.
Sorry it came off that way.

Hi Dawnrazor,
I overreacted.
I should have lifted the thread back too the content-level and should have stuck too the WFP topic.
I instead I continued the thread on the level about persons.
My sincere apologies for that.

Hi Mark,
No worries. I have zero issues with you personally or any other way for that matter.
In fact I learn a bunch from you.
Again sorry for the way I wrote that post.

Please!
One does wonder how much effect it would have but still there are few things more satisfying than deleting stuff out of XP.
At first I thought maybe I should not do the video stuff (thinking graphics in my head) but all the codec deletions you recommend (audio & video)are good ones and I think they do a small sq improvement. Certainly not as much as the audio codecs but worthwhile indeed.
